Sorry, I left off a P.  It's PUPPP for pruritic urticarial papules and
plaques of pregnancy, or PUPPP.  This condition can continue into
breastfeeding as I have had a client who was diagnosed with it recently.
 It is a fairly common condition in pregnancy.  Sorry about the error.

Good luck with your exam!!!
